i drove three nails into the back of my closet door
i hung my flannel shirts up leaving room for a couple more
mud honey took the west wall; nirvana took the south
dinosaur junior played on the stereo and the spaghetti-oes went in my mouth

Bb majorBb   C majorC    FF
and i didn't have a clue
everything was so new
Bb majorBb   C majorC    FF    Bb majorBb
and my empty heart was just starting to start--
can you remember when this happened to you?

i met a girl on the street who had done the same thing as me
the same school and everything and she quit too and moved here to be free
we never met at vincennes, but we had seen each other around
funny how things can work out sometimes, we both ended up here in the same little town

and she was sweet to me, she smoked a lot of weed
tom fell for her room-mate, we would double date
for a while everything was great
but newborn kids like to hear things break

you see, i was straightedge (or so i thought)
and i just couldn't seem to deal with the fact that she smoked so much pot
so i think i might have broke her heart
but i don't even know if i meant anything
but i know i crashed into her mom's car
and i see her sometimes and i don't know if she remembers me

tom's favorite band was the smashing pumpkins
he came home sad one day because what he read
they got signed to a major label
he said "now they would be huge" i said that "i don't think so
no, they don't have what it takes to be on the radio
no, they sound too strange."

these were my last days with tom
i was a tick tick tick time bomb
wherever you are now my friend, i hope you're having a great time
thank you so much, thank you for this life
yeah, thank you so much, thank you for this life
